Shaq's OGs won the first All-Star mini-tournament in NBA history, getting 15 points from Tatum and 12 from Stephen Curry to beat Chuck's Global Stars 41-25 in the final.

It was over early, as the Global Stars started the title game 0 for 10 from the field, 0 for 6 from 3-point range and fell into a quick 11-0 hole.

Victor Wembanyama – the first-time All-Star who vowed that he would play hard, and did – led the Global Stars with 11 points in the final.

It was the debut of the All-Star mini-tournament format – four teams, three games, with only 40 points needed to end each contest.

The league went to the tournament format of untimed, short games with hopes that asking All-Stars to play fewer minutes would lead to better competition.

Last year’s game in Indianapolis had a 211-186 final score, setting a slew of records but prompting the league to take action after years of urging players to take the exhibition a bit more seriously.

The first two-shot foul of the night came early in the title game, with Nikola Jokic missing both shots.

Team Shaq's win came on the heels of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James' annoucement of his withdrawal from the game prior to tip-off, citing a nagging ankle and foot injury.

"You will not see anything from me tonight," James, 40, said. "Unfortunately I will not be in uniform tonight."

"Still dealing with ankle and foot discomfort, so I will not be playing tonight, unfortunately," he added. "You know I hate that. But I'm looking forward to seeing the format." (AP/AFP)
